The Countdown Has Begun. 8wks 3days Left (At the Most)

So, it's crazy how fast this last bit of pregnancy has been going. I feel like every week goes by faster and faster, and I just can't get enough done to feel like I'm catching up with everything I'd like to have finished before Aeneas is here! I'll be 32wks on Tuesday, December 3rd!

I am now on medical leave from work, which has been nice, yet somehow I still seem to overdo it at home. It's not easy to do very little. I've been working on some crafts for the nursery. I'm painting a 24x32in map of Middle Earth and two smaller paintings of Smaug, and Gandalf, Bilbo and the dwarves walking in a line. I also painted a small Hobbit sign. I started a test baby quilt (I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing before making one for Aeneas), which is almost halfway done. I have to say, quilting is not my favorite thing in the world. It's turning out nice so far though.

We had a "Friendsgiving" on Monday night with two other couples (both of whom are expecting as well!) It was a lot of fun, but I definitely overdid it cooking everything. 

On Thanksgiving day, we invited one of Tony's co-workers over, and had a nice quiet day of leftovers, which there were plenty. :) It was much more relaxing. We did miss seeing all of Tony's family though, and going to a movie! 

Our last check up went well, Aeneas is measuring right on track, at ~3lbs 11oz (50th percentile). Here are some of the latest pictures of him. He's finally filling out some, and has quite a bit of hair on his head already. :) I'm getting so excited to meet him! 

 Signing off until next time...
